Capable of carrying 13,100 TEU, the flagship vessels of the Cosco container ship fleet arrived at the UK port on Sunday.

“We are very pleased to welcome the Cosco Glory to the port on her maiden voyage and are proud to be one of the only UK ports to be able to berth the increasingly large ships entering the market," said David Gledhill, Chief Executive Officer of Hutchison Ports (UK) Ltd, which owns the Port of Felixstowe.

"With the current expansion at the port, we will be able to handle more of these super post-panamax vessels simultaneously, and with the UK’s best road, rail and coastal feeder services to support our operations, our customers can be sure of unparalleled advantages when using the UK’s number one container port,” Mr Gledhill added.

The Cosco Glory is currently employed on the NE3 service, for which the port rotation is: Rotterdam, Felixstowe, Hamburg, Antwerp, Nansha, Hong Kong, Xingang, Dalian, Qingdao, Ningbo, Yantian and Singapore.
